“I agree with you on the pistol grip ver.
That’s hell on the hand.”
My Mossberg 12 ga pistol grip w/20” barrel has a strap that goes across my belly to absorb the recoil...not bad on the hand. And btw, I am a slight built 76 yo. And the strap allows me to keep the gun on target.
But who has time for the strap in a self defense situation?
